Trump has now taken it a step further with what some say is an Orwellian declaration: „What you‘re seeing and what you‘re reading is not what‘s happening.“ But troops don‘t have the luxury of serving only the parts of the nation‘s fabric they agree with. They serve the nation. Despite Trump‘s tendency to talk about the military as „his'“ and „my generals,“ nothing could be further from the truth. The US military is and must stay apolitical. It is not Trump‘s.
